Hello November 2012 sleevers ! How's everyone doing today? Just wondering if any of you are going to Dr. Alvarez around the 30th? Also do I have a sleeve sister by chance?

Got my results today from the upper endoscopy biopsy they took last Monday. Positive for h pylori. I hope this doesn't affect my surgery on November 20th. Doesn't help that I'm allergic to penicillin and erythromycin. This sucks!

H Pylori is very common. Are you having symptoms? If not it may not be an active infection. I don't think my doc does an Upper GI....they've never mentioned it. I don't think it would affect your surgery but it would depend of course on your individual surgeon's protocol. H Pylori is easily treated. There are millions of Americans with it. Try not to worry....

Hi everyone! My name is Tara. I am getting sleeved on November 17th by Dr. Alvarez. I'm so excited and cannot wait to start my weight loss. My husband is deployed and comes back in December we do not have kids yet. He is being very supportive and I'm just counting the days until we start our new skinny lives together..he lost 60lbs when he joined the Army. Good luck to all!

Hey all

My names Ashley and I'm a 24 year old college student from New Jersey. I have been battling weight since I was born. I don't remember a time being a normal weight. After 3 failed weight watcher attempts in 2 years...and many before then, I decided I need more help then that. I will be sleeved on 11/15 after a very painless approval. I have a sister getting married this coming may, and myself in 9/2014 so I cannot wait to drop this weight!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
